Father identifies Chibok girl kidnapped by Boko Haram

ABUJA: The father of one of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped from the remote area of Chibok more than two years ago said he recognised his daughter in a video released by Boko Haram on Sunday.

A spokesman for the Bring Back Our Girls movement, set up to demand the return of 276 schoolgirls kidnapped in April 2014, said he was “certain” of the identities of 10 other girls seen in the footage.

“When I heard her voice, I realised she is my daughter,” Kanu Yakubu told reporters in Abuja.
